Memories come, memories go
we hold closer those bringing tears
of happiness,     rather than sorrow.
People come, people go
some soon forgotten,
   others helping us grow
into the individuals we are;
  shaping who we become
through pain and joy...
reaching further,    towards the sun
seeking the stars, searching for
that one special 'thing'
   we can hold
      and in our hearts forever keep...

You, my love, are that keeper.....



The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Saying I love you is the easy part, but caring for love as you have so delicately described here within these words, is the key...caring for love...thank you lady poetess for your lovely heart and mind.

How true it is that people come and go, and there are only a handful of them who stay and help us grow... Not to say that those who left have never aided us in our growth, since they came into our lives for a special purpose...

Gentle Spirit, LOVE your poem!
